Re: No longer have animation

 

Ah, but if it is the IE in the vm that is borked and not the one on the

computer itself then it is an easy bork to get rid of.

Re: No longer have animation

 

Re: No longer have animation

 

My questions is, how does that help the host Vista IE if it is borked? What

if I install the IE8 on the Vista on the VPC, uninstall it and it works

fine? I am not trying to blame the IE8 for the problem with the IE7 on the

one machine, but, something got changed and I need to find out what it is so

I can fix it. So, what would installing another copy of the Vista Ultimate

x64 on a VPC prove? I am not trying to be argumentative, but, am curious

about what your thinking is that might be a telling result. As it has been

working fine on the x64 machine since Vista x64 was installed Vista went

RTM, and it worked just fine after installing the IE8 beta since its

release, so that should say something for the OS. The fact that the problem

has only happened since I uninstalled the IE8 beta leads me to think that it

is more in the way of something that got borked in IE when the IE8 was

uninstalled. Which may not necessarily have anything to do with it being an

x64 or x86 OS, or IE8.

 

I really don't know, it is my first time around with this issue, and the

immediate circumstances, so I am trying to do as much troubleshooting as I

can on my end, given that I am not sure what is really the basic cause of

the problem to home in on. I can do the whole 9 yards with the VPC, but, I

am not sure that any evidence that it might provide would really be that

useful in nailing down where the problem really lies, other than it does not

happen there. I have to weigh the time involved against the possible

benefits.

Re: No longer have animation

 

Re: No longer have animation

 

That is what I have been aware of for the previous Windows versions, and

have never seen it in Vista. However, as we see, there are variations of the

versions that are made available outside the US, and so I prefer to check

first to confirm rather then to assume it is not available in my own

version. With MS.....ya never know... :-)

Thank you very much for the detailed follow-up, RC. Yes, I noticed the

sporadic animation in the IE8 mode as compared to the IE7 Emulation for the

link you mentioned, but, the other did work fine in both modes. The fact

that since I uninstalled the IE8 neither of the sites will now work

properly, even the one that had worked without fault in IE8, is the

puzzlement. I can't seem to find out what changed, or where. Also, the one

link that no longer will load says that Adobe Flash is required, yet, when I

try to install it, it says that I have the current version installed, even

after I uninstalled it to try to reinstall to see that they would solve the

problem, and so now I can't reinstalle the Adobe Flash that is needed. It

it "Miller time" yet Kemo Sabe?? :o))

Re: No longer have animation

 

Re: No longer have animation

 

First of all I don't put beta stuff on a primary computer natively (I do on

the test box of course). If I want to look at beta stuff on my primary

computer I do it in a vm running on that computer so that I never get into

problems on the host.

 

Once you have screwed up IE on your physical computer nothing you would do

in a vm can help, of course. I'm just saying it is easy enough not to get

into that kind of mess in the first place.

I may be wrong, and as you obviously are not using the US version of Vista,

I can not say if Vista SP updates would apply to any and all IE7 installs,

be they core or seperate installs. While IE may not be a core part of all

Vista versions, I really have no idea if such updates would apply to all IE,

including installs that are not part of the core software. I truly don't

know, Tony. Maybe there are others here who are more into that area who

might be able to add more light on the subject. I am only at the "G" part

of the Geek status. :o)

[Guest Colin Barnhorst]

Re: No longer have animation

 

Re: No longer have animation

 

No.

 

Vista SP1 does have some updates for IE7 but the last IE to have its own

service pack was 6. IE8 will be entering beta 2 in a few months but is

still pretty far from rtm. There is still a chance for an IE7 service pack

because IE8 would be optional in Vista anyway, but there is no chatter about

one that I have seen.

 

btw, according to the service pack lifecycle table, support ended for

installation of IE6 SP1 in 2006. For IE6 SP1 already installed on a version

of Windows, support ends as that version of Windows is retired.

Re: No longer have animation

 

Re: No longer have animation

 

No, I am in Denmark and although I exclusivly use English software

(spell-checkers not counting) the US version cannot be distributed overseas,

as far as I know. So the English version I use goes by the name

'International'. Here, in the begining, it is slightly cheaper than the

previous Danish version (because it hasn't been translated yet), later on,

you can only get it at a premium, which is why I developed into being an

early adopter of many things!

 

It is true, the internals are different, and I am having trouble keeping

abreast with it all as sometimes the differences seem to differ too.

 

I confess, I was gripping at straws back there - I was thinking if there

were some little part that you could re-install? Well - what about your

restore-points? Have we gone through those here all ready?

 

If you remove the TCP/IP stack, your IE will go blind and lame all at

once - do a couple of cold-boots giving it time to settle and warm up nicely

in between, and then re-install the stack - sounds too crazy! It certainly

belongs in the category of the longer shots, but then, it would seem your

issue was triggered by something trivial? It's one bitter cure I wouldn't

mind swallowing in a critical situation - I do not think you risk any

further trouble - something you're not seeing now, and I begin to think

you'll end up doing a 'repair' install anyhow!

Re: No longer have animation

 

Re: No longer have animation

 

I never install any beta software on any primary or production machine

either, I have a machine that is used only for beta testing and that is the

one that is now having the IE problem. What I am trying to find out is what

has caused the problem. According to the instructions, all one need do is

uninstall the IE8 and IE7 is back to normal. As that is not the case here,

I am trying to find out why and perhaps how to fix it if.

Re: No longer have animation

 

Re: No longer have animation

 

Thanks for the explanation on the version variations, Tony. The IE8 has

been on the machine for several months and the Restore Points don't go back

that far so that is not really an option. While I could go back to before I

uninstalled the IE8, it would not help with the fact that once uninstalled I

would face the same problem. You may be right about the repair. That may

be the only alternative other than a reinstall. Being as it is a test

machine I have an image so it would not be all that bad. I was interested

in finding out what caused the problem and perhaps how to fix it so that I

might be able to help others who may run into the same problem. A repair is

not something that I like to recommend first off if perhaps something less

extreme will work.

Re: No longer have animation

 

O.K. - this being the case, I think I would be tempted to go back to the '8'

and let it run for a while before taking it away again. It might not be the

same, who knows what all the electrons were up to at the time? Everything

has an explanation - but not all explanations can be found.

Ditto. Now at least I know about what controls to try. ; )

 

I agree with RC, I think the problem is more likely to be your map.

E.g. when I zoom out to show the whole United States the animation

works fine but at the zoom level that you had it was stuck in a "Loading 2 of 0"

state. It's possible that that error could be due to another configuration

problem on my system. E.g. when I went to the Help page I got an Information

bar warning that the site wanted to use MSXML 5.0. Well, I have MSXML 6.0

and I'm not sure that I want to install MSXML 5.0 just for this. YMMV.

Try at least zooming out so you know that it isn't a problem with the data.

Those are other details that ProcMon might help you analyse. <eg>

However, you might get a few new clues by using Process Explorer instead.

E.g. with it when the map is loaded I can see (after doing a Ctrl-f for flash)

that iexplore.exe has Flash9f.ocx loaded. In my case it is loaded from

F:\WINDOWS\System32\Macromed\Flash\Flash9f.ocx

Note the System32 in that path? I'm wondering if you might have two

choices for it on your x64 and if so which one is chosen?

 

Another possibility, particularly since you are getting messages from the

web site about x64, is that the OS in your User-Agent is confusing things.

In that case you could try changing your User-Agent so the OS is spoofed.

I don't know if the standard User-Agent overrides try spoofing the OS or not.

Well......curiously, I was finally able to install the Flash, but, I am not

finding anything for Macromed/Flash/Flash9f.ocx in my Windows/System32. I'm

running a search in the hard drive to see if it comes up elsewhere. There

is a Program Files and Program Files (86) and I checked both and found

nothing related to Macromedia or Flash. Yet, it says I have version 9

installed. So, hopefully the Search will let me know where it is.

Don't know about that one...how would I do that?

Ohh phooh! :-))

 

Ok...well.......the best I can refine my sympton description is:

Unfortunately, the map here will not appear at all.

http://www.weather.com/outlook/driving/interstate/map/interactive/20186?from=36hr_svrWarn_driving&zoom=8&interactiveMapLayer=radar

I get the page and the framing and all, but, the map itself does not show.

 

The map on this page does originally display, but, after I click on the Show

map in motion tries to switch to the animation mode and just hangs:

http://www.weather.com/weather/map/USVA0808?showanimation=yes&mapregion=us_ric_closeradar_plus_usen

 

That is all that I can tell you about the symptoms. On this one I can't

Zoom out, that feature does not work on this map. Not sure what else you

are looking for as far as symptoms go. I'll do some more testing with the

Filemon and such, and see if it turns up anything, at least that I can

decipher.
